While looking for pictures of old Waldorf I came across this page (not a lot of info but any is better than none)

Here is one of the water test samples flowing from the mine, interesting read!

A good link with lots of old photos of Colorado mines and the towns that supported them;

Thanks. I visited the site a month ago and am looking to go back to visit the spurs. It's rather curious the amount of water flowing out of the mountainside from the ?spring?.

Jim all that water is actually drainage from 8+ shafts in the mountain that drains into the Waldorf shaft. I will see if I can find the Mine map for that area and post it up.
